“Robert was a great sitter for our dog, Maggie! He was kept us updated the whole time and even asked if he could use ear cleaner for Maggie when she had an itchy ear! The pictures he sent were amazing, we’ll probably have one framed! Maggie came home happy, healthy and tired ☺️”
“Luna loves staying with Elizabeth. She gets lots of love, walks and belly rubs. And I have peace of mind knowing my Luna is in great hands when I’m away. We are big fans of Elizabeth!”
“Alexandra and family are always wonderful to my baby boy! But this time they go above and beyond! We left for a week. And unfortunately, he ran out of food. Alexandra and family cooked him homemade food, like I did with him! Just exceptional!!!”
“Chazz was so gracious with our schedule in dropping off and picking up our dog. He was flexible with our last minute boarding and provided many photo/video updates. Ozy had a great time with him and I’d book again!”
“Amy was fantastic - we instantly felt comfortable with her husband and her (and, more importantly, so did the dog!). She was very detail oriented, sent pictures throughout Champ's short stay and made sure Champ got plenty of exercise. I also appreciated her policy not to take multiple dogs at once. We will definitely be repeating with Amy - the whole experience was great!”
“Kristina took amazing care of Darby!! She bought her toys and treats. I could tell Darby had a great time and I enjoyed my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands :)”
“Pepsi had a fabulous time with Renee and Toffee. They were welcoming and very accommodating of our schedule (flexible with pick up/drop off). Sent regular photos and updates, took Pepsi out on multiple walks in a day, and played a lot with Pepsi. Highly recommend, Renee!”
“Tim was very responsive and took great care of Yuna. He was open to a last minute meet & greet and provided lots of photos of our pup throughout the day. We really appreciate his attention to her and would book with him again!”
“Tamikia came through clutch when I needed a last minute sitter for my fur baby and she took excellent care of him. She is the most responsive host you’ll ever encounter and she sent regular updates of Brodee without prompting which I really appreciated since it was his first time with her. Definitely worth the trip over the bridge (I’m from NJ)!”
“I am so so glad I found Victoria on Rover -- highly recommend if you need a sitter for your animal bb! <33 My dog has some health issues which affect his diet, and is a generally shy / anxious lil guy (like myself), and I can't express how grateful and secure I felt knowing Theo felt safe, cared for, and happy while I was away. Victoria has so much experience and compassion working with animals, and you can absolutely tell by her kindness, attentive care, and communication. I appreciated every message and cute picture of my pup Theo on walks, smiling, and relaxing with Victoria (and Remi, Nova, and Luey!) In addition, I appreciated the add-on booking allowing Victoria to come pick and drop Theo off. The ease of the booking and Victoria being such a lovely sitter eased so much of my mental load and stress of traveling and being away from my pup, and I can't recommend her enough. I think Theo says woof in agreement, since he came back so happy :) This was my first time booking with Victoria but I am so happy to have found a wonderful sitter and would love to rebook when I will need one for Theo again :)”
“Eric and Raz are our favorite dog sitters. They clearly love and care about our dog and we always feel 100% confident that she is well cared for with them. They give her lots of cuddles and have a good sense of her needs. It’s always a pleasure.”
“Bryce was available on short notice and remained responsive over DMs throughout our interactions. I got lots of photos and updates on Wallace during his stay. I would recommend anyone to place their pet in Bryce's cade.”
“Virginia was so sweet and took great care of Bogey! He can be nervous, and she went out of her way from the start to put him at ease. She took him for runs, played fetch in the backyard, and even let him sleep on the bed. I’m surprised he even wanted to come home after his stay. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Mygan was amazing! She took such great care of my Charlie! She was so kind and thoughtful. She sent pics daily like I asked and she even did well with his medication. Thank you so much I will definitely rebook!”
“Jake was very easy to communicate with and it was clear our pup was treated very well during her stay with him. We really appreciated him watching her on relatively short notice and we would definitely reach out to Jake again in the future.”
“Jeslyn was so sweet! She arrived at the car with treats to pick up my pup, and kept her comfortable and was well taken care of. Great communicator, I received plenty of pictures throughout her stay. Will definitely book again!”
“Rhea did an amazing job taking care of Tommy and providing me updates throughout his stay. He was extremely happy from what I can tell, and seemed to enjoy his time with Rhea. Thanks again!!!”
“Using Rebecca has been a pleasure. We had a meet and greet beforehand. She sent lots of photos & videos. Made sure she had all the information she needed about my dog. Will use again!”

“I would highly recommend Katie as a sitter. She did a great job caring for my cat. Katie followed all the details I gave her related to when to arrive, my cat’s feeding, how to use his automatic feeder, and gave him so much love and care while I was gone by playing and snuggling with him. She also sent lots of great pictures and helpful and funny updates about how my kitty was doing.”
“Charlotte is our go-to sitter! She’s incredibly thoughtful, responsive, and great with our cats. She has gone above and beyond to make sure our cats were safe, comfortable, and in good care.

“This is my second time using Astrid. She has been consistent, responsible and caring towards the only one of my cats she ever sees. Love the daily photos-strangely, my cat dresses up in hats, drinks cappuccinos and sits next to very large captions only when I'm away-Astrid is there to capture it all on camera! Go figure. 😆”

“We love Ellen! She does a wonderful job taking care of our babies, and they haven’t wanted to make it easy on her. This poor woman has repotted so many plants and cleaned up so much dirt from the chaos our youngest cat creates 😭. Thank you Ellen! We are grateful for you.”
“Chastity was amazing! She was communicative with her schedule and was excited to spend time with our cats. She is a great photographer and gave our cats plenty of attention and play time. 10/10 would book her again!!”

He walked Coco multiple times a day and gave the most adorable summaries of their day together. Coco sprinted to him immediately after only one day and it was obvious she had a great time despite the terrible 100 degree weather that weekend. I can’t thank him enough and can’t wait for him to sit coco again!”

About: I have been an animal lover my whole life, as far back as my grandma's farm cats! For the past five years, I have had two cats of my own :) One of my cats was previously feral and found by my fiance; as such, I have plenty of experience building trust and developing meaningful connections with animals. Furthermore, she has asthma and feline hyperthyroidism. I have had to administer medications in many forms and am prepared to cater to any needs of your fur baby! Over the past few years, I have also cared for several dogs and have experience with pets of all shapes and sizes. I am currently in a PhD program at Penn and have a flexible schedule, so I can adjust my schedule around the needs of your pet's care! I treat any pet with the same level of attention and compassion as my own. I hold trustworthiness, communication, and timeliness in the highest regard. Furthermore, your home will be respected and left as it was found.
About: Taken care of cats since my first at 7 years old; also cared for her many kittens in the years following. Super comfortable with kittens, senior cats, and everything in between. You name it, I've taken care of it. My first pet was a tomato frog and since then I've kept snakes, geckos, and insects. I'm happy to care for your non-furry critters, too! Also a biologist :) I just recently moved to Philly where I'm looking for work, so I'll do my absolute best to work with most any time you suggest. I try to operate on a "no trace left behind" system. I'll keep your critters safe and happy with your space left totally clean.
“Natalie is so great with our pittie mix! She’s attentive, punctual, and kind. Would absolutely recommend Natalie for dog-walking/dog-sitting services :)”
“Courtney was such a lifesaver while my husband was away! She walked our dog in the cold weather without hesitation and was incredibly kind, warm, and professional throughout. Our dog usually takes a little time to warm up to new people, but he felt comfortable with her right away. I truly appreciated the peace of mind she gave us. We will absolutely be asking for her help again”
About: Hi everyone! my name is Rhyeshona but I prefer Shona a 24-year-old part time child care assist that also happens to love the second kind of children, animals. Unofficially I have 10+ years of experience taking care of an assortment of pet’s due to growing up in a “zoo”. Growing up my family would get a new pet every month of the year and each one demanded different requirements. Believe me I know about giving quality time around the clock. When it comes to activeness as well as my communication I take great pride in it, that’s why I’ll have no problem updating you on your pet’s with handfuls of pictures included. Being able to spend time with animals that’s suppose to act like animals gives me peace of mind and I look forward to meeting them. Around last year I graduated with my associate’s degree in Culinary Arts. After graduation however I found myself bouncing around jobs before working in childcare until I can become my on boss. I’m looking forward to meeting both you and your beloved pet. Boardings and Drop In’s I’m always around to help. ANY QUESTIONS IN MIND? GOT A PET THAT’S NOT A CAT OR DOG BUT STILL REQUIRES CARE? DON’T HESITATE TO REACH OUT! Though I work from Monday-Friday I’m most likely always home. However when Im out I’m not the only one caring for your pet it’s a family effort. I’m available from 7am to hours late into the night during the week and weekend. My home is available for care as well as your own to broaden your options. Though I don’t have my own vehicle my communication skills and experience with public transportation allows me to stay punctual. Any size cat is in my comfort zone, for dog’s I’ll be sticking with small-medium. If your pet has a routine you’d like to keep intact I’m more then willing to stick to it to provide normalcy and training to them
“Chris has been an amazing support while taking care of my Husky Blue. He is reliable and uses clear communication to ensure I understand how my dog is doing every day. Chris is punctual and able to meet a demanding care request (5 days/week). We are lucky to have him.”
About: Caregiving is one of my favorite things to do. I try to value and nurture all relationships and interactions I have; including those with animals. On a daily basis, you could find me like a balance beam. Actively utilizing both a quick to move mentality and a one that likes to observe details. I’m an involved and hands on person. No matter the environment I’d like to make everyday enriching. Give me a challenge and you’ll have a player.
About: I grew up with all kinds of dogs all my life and always enjoyed the company of animals. I house sit for my dad a lot of the time. Sometimes staying as much as two weeks at a time. I would watch Rocco(the Boston terroir in the photos) for years. Now I watch Phinn and Fern(The Frenchie and chihuahua ) for him and my step mom when ever they need it. I have a pet cat of my own named AK, he is the maine coon cat. We live with two other cats I help take care of as well as dog I help walk around who is a black lab named Konan after Konan coffee. Please shoot me a message! I love big dogs little dogs all kinds as well as all kinds of cats! Will be happy to answer any questions. I'm only working part time right now and my schedule is super flexible. I am available whenever is needed. Shoot me a message and we can discuss! I have a small fenced in backyard for Konan. Most of the time i just let her go to the bathroom out there but we go for walks at least once a day. The cats will also hang out in our little backyard. Would be more then willing to walk clients dogs of course.

“We couldn't have been happier with Kiara taking care of Pepe! She was so attentive and active with all the dogs in her care, and she communicated wonderfully throughout his entire stay. It's easy to see why pups keep coming back to her. Rest assured, your dog will be very well taken care of. Highly recommend!”
“Robert was a great sitter for our dog, Maggie! He was kept us updated the whole time and even asked if he could use ear cleaner for Maggie when she had an itchy ear! The pictures he sent were amazing, we’ll probably have one framed! Maggie came home happy, healthy and tired ☺️”
“Liliana took great care of our senior beagle! Liliana is responsive, sent photos and took Merlin to play in the park on his vacation. Always appreciate your time and support”
“Luna loves staying with Elizabeth. She gets lots of love, walks and belly rubs. And I have peace of mind knowing my Luna is in great hands when I’m away. We are big fans of Elizabeth!”
“John was good about tending to our dog's needs while we were away. We had daily updates and he brought up a few possible issues that could have been problems but turned out to be nothing to worry about so he was doing more than just the basic dog care. I expect will will leave our dog with John in the future if we need boarding services for our dog.”
“Chazz was so gracious with our schedule in dropping off and picking up our dog. He was flexible with our last minute boarding and provided many photo/video updates. Ozy had a great time with him and I’d book again!”
“Kerry was wonderful — our dog is very particular and usually needs time to warm up to people, but he and Kerry were best friends immediately!! We also loved that Kerry sent us a ton of updates and pictures. Her home is very welcoming to pups, and we know Teddy felt comfortable and had a great time. Kerry is very easy to communicate with and flexible when planning pick-up and drop-off! We can’t wait until Teddy can visit Kerry again ❤️”
“Maxime was able to take care of our dog Robert twice in the space of a month, he had such a great time and felt right at home while also having all of his needs met with great care both times.”
“Christopher really put my mind at ease when I felt anxious about leaving Mochi for an extended boarding stay in an unfamiliar city. Mochi got more exercise than he ever gets with me and Christopher’s family’s home is beautiful and dog friendly (lots of doggie toys, cuddles on sofa, etc). I was a little worried about encounters with other dogs on walks (Mochi can be selectively dog aggressive). Christopher handled him like a champ and had no issues at all. There was a little trouble with medications, but in Chris’s defense- Mochi really doesn’t like the honkin’ large intercepter chew and it can be tough to fool him into eating it. I was concerned that I found pieces of the medicine mixed in with Mochi’s food in the big food bag- I believe Mochi just didn’t eat it and Chris mixed the leftover food (with medicine) back into the food bag. Overall I am very happy with Christopher and would use him again. Highly recommend!”
“Tim was very responsive and took great care of Yuna. He was open to a last minute meet & greet and provided lots of photos of our pup throughout the day. We really appreciate his attention to her and would book with him again!”

“Jasmine did a great job watching my dog, Chianti! She was very flexible and on a very short notice. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, and I could tell Chianti was really enjoying her time.
